Brilliant Event Tasks
So these are just the tasks for the second week of the Potter’s Calamity Brilliant Event. Like the previous week for Potter’s Calamity, the quest line is split into four sections. You have to complete each section before progressing to the next one.
Potter’s Calamity 1
The first section is easy to complete. I’d recommend having a Portkey close to unlocking by the start of the event.
Pick Up 5 Ingredients or Portmanteaus | 10 Brilliant Family XP |
Dine at Inns 2 times | 10 Brilliant Family XP |
Return 5 Medium-Threat Foundables | 15 Brilliant Family XP |
Section 1 Rewards:
- 500 XP
- 20 Brilliant Family XP
- 2 Restricted Section Books
- Red Sock Red with Brooms Sticker
Potter’s Calamity 2
The second section is also reasonably easy to complete. It really comes down to effort.
Return 2 Brilliant Golden Snitch Fragments | 300 XP |
Unlock 4 Portkey Portmanteaus | 2 Restricted Section Books |
Perform 10 Great Spell Casts | 5 Brilliant Family XP |
Section 2 Rewards:
- 2 Potent Exstimulo Potions
- 2 Restricted Section Books
- 1 DMLE Badge Fragment
- Ornate Harry Frame
Potter’s Calamity 3
The third section is a bit of a challenge, especially if you live in a rural area without many Traces. You might need to use Dark Detectors to complete these tasks.
Return 4 High Threat Foundables | 500 XP |
Return 3 Brilliant Golden Snitch Fragments | 500 XP |
Return 4 Dark Arts Family Foundables | 15 Brilliant Family XP |
Section 3 Rewards:
- 25 Brilliant Family XP
- 2 Restricted Section Books
- 1 London Five Photograph Fragment
- Stag Patronus Sticker
Potter’s Calamity 4
The fourth section can be difficult if you struggle to find enough Ministry Family Foundables. However, the other tasks are all based on your own efforts! They might take time, but you can do them!
Brew 8 Potions | 750 XP |
Use 8 Potions | 10 Brilliant Family XP |
Defeat 3 Common Dark Wizards | 15 Brilliant Family XP |
Section 4 Rewards:
- 7 Restricted Section Books
- 1 Framed Family Photo (Ginny, Albus, James, Lily) Fragment
- 50 Gold
- Taped Glasses Lens
Brilliant Foundables and Where to Find Them
Unlike the previous Brilliant Event, you will only be able to encounter one of these Brilliant Foundables in the wild. The others can be found through Fortress Challenges, special 7k Portkeys, and event tasks.

Tips to Complete the Brilliant Event
With two Potter’s Calamity Brilliant Events as well as a Community Day all back to back to back, we want to provide you with as many tips as possible to maximize your efforts.
- Keep your Ingredients stocked so you can easily brew potions in the fourth section. Choose 2-hour potions to complete this task more quickly.
- Save 2k Portmanteaus to open on the second chapter. Again, this will speed up the completion of the overall event.
- If you’re having trouble finding High Threat Foundables, use Dark Detectors on Inns.
- 7k Portmanteaus can still be opened after the Brilliant Event ends, BUT if you unlock it after the next Brilliant Event begins, you’ll receive different rewards. Unlock your Portkeys wisely!
- If you’re trying to find Brilliant Foundables or specific Family Foundables, do not play in an area with a Family Flag. Traces will be more diverse in an area not marked by a Flag.
- Save your Scrolls and your Restricted Section Books until the end of the event. Then use our guide to spend them wisely!
Question, how do you figure 15 restricted section books? 1st is 2, 2nd is 2, 3rd is 2, and 4th is 7, making 13. Which is what my trio of friends & I received. How do we get the remaining 2 for 15? (I could really use the other 2 so any info is greatly appreciated)
Thanks,
1st=2, 2nd= 4, 3rd= 2 4th=7
2+4+2+7=15
ah, this lists 2 for 1-3 and since I went through them already I cant go back and see. though from that I started with and ended with, its still adding to 13.
You get 2 each for the first three sections equaling 6. You get 7 for the last one = 13. The other 2 are given when you unlock the 4 portkeys in section 2. = 15.
Anybody else having trouble finding Common Dark Wizards in wizarding challenges to defeat? I only managed to find one to battle, and I’ve done quite a few fortress challenges while working on the last section of the event. Also, my 7 km portkeys seem to keep giving me the reward from the Potter week 1 event instead of the week 2 event. Is this happening to anyone else?
